Single Malt Scotch

The Exceptional Cask series is a collection of superlative bottlings from our Single Malt distillery of Aberfeldy specially chosen by our Malt Master, Stephanie Macleod. The Exceptional Cask series demonstrates how Macleod patiently lays the foundations of the entire single malts range, by meticulously nosing and assessing every sample within John Dewar's & Sons extensive cask inventory to monitor maturation and flavor development.

Produced in small batches to be released each year, this second bottling of exceptionally rare 19 year old draws its inspiration from Islay's Traigh Bhan beach, known locally as the Singing Sands.

Ardbeg releases a new 25 Year Old crafted from raw ingredients woven together to create a whisky distinguished by its exceptional balance, beauty and prestige. Vibrant, hot peppery mouthfeel, leads in to a burst of sherbet lemon, creamy toffee, aniseed and chili pepper.

Soft, smooth tastes of butterscotch, a devilish and deliciously sweet silkiness born of new charred oak and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks.

From a Distillery with more ups and downs that a pogoing punk comes Ardcore. Created with roasted black malt, roasted to the extreme, this spirit is all about what happens up front centre stage. The malt is what defines its distinctive profile. Described as tasting like ‘biting on a spiky ball’, Ardcore is a dram that wears its heart on its sleeve… its black heart!

After 13 years at the helm, Mickey Heads - Distillery Manager and Committee Chairman is departing. It’s true, the captain of the good ship Ardbeg is retiring.

Ardbeg Blaaack is the feisty Limited Edition bottled in celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the Ardbeg Committee, founded in the year 2000. This special whisky celebrates their dyed-in-the-wool Ardbeggian flock, those souls dedicated to preserving inimitable taste of Ardbeg. By hook or by crook.
